Abstract:
The antihypertensive effects of verapamil and propranolol were evaluated in 62 patients with mild to moderate systemic hypertension. We also studied the change of 24 hours urinary catecholamines. 31 cases received verapamil and 31 others were treated by propranolol for 4 weeks. Before treating, there were no statistically significant differences (ECG, echocardiology, blood pressure...) noted between the two groups. Conclusions: 1) Blood pressure and heart rate were controlled by verapamil as well as by propranolol. 2) 24 hours urinary catecholamines were reduced by verapamil but not by propranolol
